Foundry 2.0 (semiconductor manufacturing)

Foundry 2.0 is a next-level semiconductor manufacturing model, based on and complementary to the original Foundry Model. The major difference between the two models is the size of the foundry (or "fab") and its product runs. Foundry Model fabs are enormous, producing thousands of wafers per run; high volume is the heart of their business model. In contrast, Foundry 2.0 fabs are modest in size and specialize in smaller customized runs.

Foundry 2.0 does not compete with the Foundry Model. It begins with wafers already mass-processed by Foundry Model fabs and then adds custom BEoL, Advanced Packaging, etc. This addresses the needs of customers whose volume requirements are too small to fit the economic models of the large fabs.
